Teachers and extra-curricular/out of school activities

[fivecandles]

Out of interest if you are a teacher:

1.) Is there an expectation that you contribute to extra-curricular activities at your school?
2.) Is there an expectation that you contribute to activities outside of the classroom that would support students' academically e.g. revision sessions? one to one support?
3.) What sort of activities have you been asked/ volunteered to do that are not directly related to your teaching role e.g. trips?
4.) How you received any additional payment for these activities?

Thanks, in advance.

I was happy to volunteer to do clubs in the early years of my career as I had nothing to rush home for, the planning / assessing expectations were different, but it did prefer to run things at lunchtime. I would never have been paid, but I enjoyed doing them. This would also include running stalks at fairs etc. However I would have been very if anyone had told me I had to do it.
Nowadays, I work part time, have a young family at home, and need all my time in school to get the 'teaching' stuff done so I can bring as little as possible home.
The ks2 booster sessions or one to one sessions are all funded afaik and there should be no pressure on anyone to do them, although I many schools the year 6 teachers are expected to. Personally, I wouldn't for the above reasons. But I imagine some of the younger teachers might be keen on the extra money.
In the school I work in, we have a lot of outside sport people who come in to run clubs, as the staff are under huge pressure from Lea and Ofsted to improve Sats results. We are knackered!
It's a shame, but I just could not fit anymore into my day.

Re trips. I have happily done residentials when I was full time and single, but now it's just not fair on my family. Organising day trips is just part of a primary school teacher's normal workload. Neither would be paid extra.

State primary btw

Not heard yet about cuts affecting these services, no.

When teaching in a state secondary I did the following after school:

Mon - GAT club
Tues - Year 11 revision
Thurs - Full course GCSE
Fri - Full course GCSE

I got TOIL for one Full course GCSE after school session (an extra free) after they cocked up my timetable.

I did Easter revision classes (and got paid extra) and I also went aborad every second year with the history trip (even paying for my ds to board for a week at his school as my dh got sent to sea unexpectedly and couldn't do the childcare for the week).

1.) Is there an expectation that you contribute to extra-curricular activities at your school?
Yes, all teachers are required to run at least one activity

2.) Is there an expectation that you contribute to activities outside of the classroom that would support students' academically e.g. revision sessions? one to one support?
Not necessarily frm all teachers but where it becomes beneficial to students then yes.

3.) What sort of activities have you been asked/ volunteered to do that are not directly related to your teaching role e.g. trips?
drama club, drama courses, dance clubs, theatre trips, outdoor pursuits residential trips, boarders' residential trips, weekend duties, night duties, productions, overnight camps.

4.) How you received any additional payment for these activities?
No, but some teachers run holiday courses which incur a charge to the parents and they are allowed to keep some of that money.

Independent Prep

1.) No
2.) No but I do from choice
3.) None but I have led residential visits during school holidays
4.) No
State

1. No, not at all. I do, but I teach Performing Arts, so it's perhaps more "natural" that I do.

2. No. Again, plenty do, but only if they want to. Even within departments, some do and some don't. I have no need to run revision sessions or whatever, because we do BTECs in KS4 and KS5, so there are no exams. That said, if students are rehearsing a performance and want to do so after school, I will help them out. That comes from them though, rather than from me.

3. I take theatre trips and so on, but again, that's all my decision - no one has ever asked me to do so. Where I teach currently, there is less call for trips etc (sadly) because very few parents have spare cash to pay for optional extras like going to see a play. At previous schools, there has been more money, so I've been able to do more. Pre-DCs, I did several summer schools, but not now.

4. Got paid for summer schools. I used to teach in London (state secondary) and all staff who ran an after school club got paid for it. Lessons would finish at lunchtime on Fridays, and KS3 kids had to attend an extra-curricular club. KS4 kids got the option to attend, to study independently in the library or to go home. Running an enrichment activity was optional, but those who did got paid £20 per hour.The head at the time was v keen to give the students as many opportunities as possible, and it certainly encouraged staff to run something. There was specific funding for it though, not 100% sure where from, but not the school general budget. Never experienced that before or since.

State secondary.

State secondary

1. yes
2. yes - all subject teachers run 1-2-1 courswork sessions both after school and at lunch plus we have to run revision sessions (it all about the magic A-C number). If I did not I would have to explain why I was not helping students to achieve. I doubt that there is a child in the school who has not had 'coursework support' to achieve a higher grade.
3. yes - have to organise and run trips for off-curriculum days'
4. Payment - must be joking but hopefully I get to keep my job

State secondary.

1. depends what you teach. If you teach PE, yes otherwise no.
2. yes. have done and will do it again.
3. more school trips that I can count. day trips, trips abroad, camp, expeditions.

4.never.

State middle school

1. Yes although not overtly said, most of us run some sort of club but it is actually written into job description of PE staff.
2. Yes I have run booster classes for Y6 classes previously although I have now moved from the English department.
3. Summer fayres, trips, courses, residentials you name it.
4. Paid for booster classes but nothing else, won't be paid for working a day I am normally not in work on the residential for example.
